Physic-ly Ill JOW #1082

 My physics classes let me know I would never understand Physics. To this day I think physics is branch of science concerned with using extremely long and complicated formulas to describe how a ball rolls.

  I did learn a couple of things in physics:

·         A responsible adult says ‘No” to non-Euclidian space. 

·         Matter can be neither created nor destroyed.  Nor can it be returned without a receipt.

Here are some jokes about physics and physicists.

 

A beginner’s guide to physics

Relativity: When the family gets together

Black holes: What you get in black socks

Critical mass: A big group of film reviewers

Hyperspace: Where you park at the superstore

Two Theoretical Physicists are lost in the mountains

Theoretical physicist No 1 pulls out a map and peruses it for a while. Then he turns to theoretical physicist No 2 and says: "Hey, I've figured it out. I know where we are."
"Where are we then?" 
"Do you see that mountain over there?" 
"Yes." 
"Well… THAT'S where we are."

There are a lot of jokes about Schrodinger and his thought experiment about a cat that might or might not be dead in an unobserved box.

All those Schrodinger’s Cat jokes have died out….. or have they?

 Veterinarian: “Dr. Schrodinger, I have good news and bad news about your cat.”

 

Then there is Heisenberg and his theory of uncertainty.

 

When Was Heisenberg Born?

Oh, that's very uncertain.

 

A cop stopped Heisenberg and asked him, “Do you know how fast you were going?”

He replied, “No, but I know where I am.”

 

Or the freshman who asked, “Is this the Heisenberg Department of Physics?”

“Probably.”

 

Einstein Developed A Theory About Space.

About time too!

^^^^^^

You enter the high school lab and see an experiment. How will you know which class is it?

·         If it’s green and wiggles, it’s biology.

·         If it stinks, it’s chemistry.

·         If it doesn’t work, it’s physics.

 

Be careful asking scientist why did the chicken cross the road?

Aristotle: It is the nature of chickens to cross roads.

Isaac Newton: Chickens at rest tend to stay at rest, chickens in motion tend to cross roads.

Albert Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved beneath the chicken depends on your frame of reference.

Werner Heisenberg: We are not sure which side of the road the chicken was on, but it was moving very fast.

Wolfgang Pauli: There already was a chicken on this side of the road.

 

Physicist riddles

How Many Physicists Does It Take To Change A Lightbulb?

Eleven. One to do it and ten to co-author the paper.

 

What did the English nuclear physicist have for lunch?

Fission Chips

 

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Mobius Strip?

To get to the same side.

 

What do you call the group of physicists who name the tiny things inside the atom?

A Particle Board.

 

Why did Erwin Schrödinger, Paul Dirac and Wolfgang Pauli work in a really small garage?

Because they were quantum mechanics. 

 

Different scientific disciplines do things differently.

 

How to calculate the volume of a cat:

Engineer: Submerge the cat in a take of water and measure the rise of the water level.

Mathematician: Calculate the volume integral over its full body.

Physicist: Suppose the cat is spherical.

A physicist, a biologist, and a chemist were going to the ocean for the first time. The physicist saw the ocean and was fascinated by the waves. He said he wanted to do some research on the fluid dynamics of the waves and walked into the ocean. He drowned and was swept out to sea.

The biologist said he wanted to do research on the flora and fauna inside the ocean and walked inside the ocean. He, too, never returned.

The chemist waited for a long time and afterwards, wrote the observation, “The physicist and the biologist are soluble in ocean water.”

````````````

A biologist, an engineer, and a mathematician were observing an empty building. They noted two people entering the building and sometime later observed three coming out.

The biologist remarked, “Oh, they must have reproduced.”

The engineer said, “Our initial count must have been incorrect.”

The mathematician stated, “Now if one more person goes into the building, it will be completely empty.”

Fun scientific fact – you can tell the gender of an ant by throwing it in water.

If it sinks, it’s a girl ant.

If it floats, it’s buoyant.

 

And finally, my off-topic joke

A lady was expecting the plumber. He was scheduled to come at 10 A.M. Ten o’clock came and went with no plumber. She concluded he wasn’t coming, and went out to do some errands. While she was out, the plumber arrived. He knocked on the door; the lady’s parrot, who was at home in a cage by the door, said, “Who is it?”

He replied, “It’s the plumber.”

He thought it was the lady who’d said, “Who is it?” and waited for her to come and let him in.

When this didn’t happen he knocked again, and again the parrot said, “Who is it?”

He said, “It’s the plumber!” He waited, and again the lady didn’t come to let him in.

He knocked again, and again the parrot said, “Who is it?”

He said, “It’s the plumber!” Again he waited and again she didn’t come. He knocked again and the parrot said, “Who is it?”

The plumber screamed, flew into a rage, and ripped the door off its hinges. He suffered a heart attack and fell dead in the doorway. The lady came home from her errands, only to see the door ripped off its hinges and a corpse lying in the doorway. “A dead body!” she exclaimed. “Who is it?”

The parrot said, “It’s the plumber.”
